Zarqawi condemned democracy
● Democracy calls for obedience to man, not Allah;
● democracy permits freedom of religion, even to convert to
another religion;
● the people rather than Allah rule and pass judgment under
democracy;
● freedom of expression under democracy would permit
condemning Allah [the cartoon jihad];
● separation of church and state permits secularism which is
totally inconsistent with Islam;
● freedom of association would permit one to join an unacceptable
party; and finally,
● the concept of majority rule is “totally wrong and void because
truth according to Islam is that which is in accordance with
the Koran and the Sunna, whether its supporters are few or
many.”

Sunni-Shia Hatred
Muslims are “required” by jihad
to go to Syria. I call on Muslims
everywhere to help their brothers be
victorious.
Everyone who has the ability and
has training to kill is required to go.
Alawites are more infidel than
Christians and Jews and HezbAllah is the
Party of the Devil.
